using USB or an optical disk.
This product provides the following 5 volume configuration methods for
the user’s requirement
- RAID 0(Stripping)
- RAID 1(Mirroring) for important data
- linear(JBOD) volume
- RAID 1(Mirroring) + RAID 0(Stripping)
- Individual disks(disk1,disk2)
※ When you first purchase the product, the volume is already organized.
Therefore please use this menu only when you wish to change the volume
organization set-up.
※ When organizing a volume, certain section of the hard disk is assigned as
a system section of LG Network Storage. Consequently a capacity of the
volume after the volume organization appears smaller than the capacity
of the hard disk.

Incremental back-up and Full back-up
LG Network Storage supports two types namely, incremental back-up and full backup for the back-up of mobile storage device. For the location in which mobile storage
device is backed up, there are user assigned folder and last backup folder.
- Incremental : All of the data of the assigned mobile storage device are backed up in
the Last Backup folder. In the folder user assigned, only added contents are backed up
when compared to the last backup folder previously backed up.
- Full : It performs back-up for the whole original file. Unlike incremental back-up, full
back-up contains the whole back-up contents in the folder user assigned..(It does not
save separately in the Last Backup folder)
This is an example about Incremental back-up and Full back-up. On first backup(January 1st 2009), USB contains files as in the following.
ex 1)
in this case, when USB back-up proceeds with Incremental type, folder of
the pertinent date of back-up is created and above files are saved. At the
same time, last backup folder is created and all of the files currently present
in USB are backed up. At this time, system folder is created as follows.
In a folder of a lower level
a.txt/b.txt/c.txt created
In a folder of a lower level
a.txt/b.txt/c.txt created

On second back-up, (January 2nd 2009), a.txt and b.txt are deleted, d.txt and e.txt
are added. At this time, USB contains files as follows.
ex 2)
A folder with the date of back-up is created and only added or changed
files are saved there on second back-up as well. As in above case, only
added d.txt and e.txt are saved. And last backup is filled with files that are
currently present in USB.
In a folder of a lower level
a.txt/b.txt/c.txt created
In a folder of a lower level
d.txt/e.txt/ created
In a folder of a lower level
c.txt/d.txt/e.txt created

On third back-up (January 3rd 2009) it opens e.txt, edit the content and then saves.
At this time, only e.txt is saved in a new folder. And c.txt, d.txt, e.txt currently present
in USB are backed up as original in last backup.
ex 3)
※ ex 2) 20100413 folder, 20100414 folder,
Route location of lastbackup folder are the
same.
In a folder of a lower
level, e.txt is created
If you choose full type for the above third back-up, a pattern since the third back-up
is as in the following.

In a folder of a lower level,
a.txt/b.txt/c.txt is created
In a folder of a lower level,
c.txt/d.txt/e.txt is created
In a folder of a lower

16-1. Supplement Volume Construction & RAID Configuration
This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level.
1. Single Disk (None) volumes
The volume can be configured to each Disk without configuring the RAID. This issimilar to methods with general PCs that use Disks.
If the Disk is damaged, the damaged Disk data may be lost.
2. Mirroring volumes
Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes
damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and backed up to
another configured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest
Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk. The data backup is a
priority during RAID1.
The saving of important data is recommended.
106
16-1. Supplement Volume Construction & RAID Configuration
3. RAID0 striping volume
The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store
data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in
parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency.
Many low capacity files are read because multiple blocks of data are stored to each
Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time. In order to secure data stored,
Information is not read when at least one Disk is damaged. Subsequently, if the Disk is
damaged, the saved data in the volume will be lost.
The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the
Disks.
This technique must not be used for the saving of important data, but rather for fast
data access and for maintenance of the security of its volume capacity.
4. JBOD Linear volume
The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store
data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be
maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written
in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk is
damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the volume as
a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks. To maximize the safeguard of
capacity of the volume, saving of important data is not recommended.
